Smart places to visit on the internets.

[evil^milk]

What are your favorite smart places on the internet? Places where scientific advances or ideas are discussed, where interesting books or reading is recommended, where good music/art in general is recommended, et al.

Obviously HL2.net.

But other than that I check BBC on a regular basis.

How about you?

4chan

 

[Raziaar]

I constantly visit wikipedia.

I visit it on average maybe 20-40 times a day.

 

[evil^milk]

Ah, Wiki.

Can't believe I forgot it.

 

[Pesmerga]

4chan, xkcd, rockpapershotgun, and wikipedia

 

[mindless_moder]

lifehacker.com and techeblog.com

 

[Pesmerga]

Oh, smart places.

Only 4chan then.

 

[joule]

Yeah, wikipedia and imdb mostly.

 

[CyberPitz]

*edit* If you go to this site, you deserve what is waiting.

Do you have an interest in any of those things, or do you just want to appear smart to the idiots around you?

 

[Ennui]

wikipedia is usually open

 

[blackparty]

Yeah 4chan is the only smart place in the internets

 

[Cheomesh]

Nothing on the internet is 'smart'.

To be honest I want to spend my time learning more stuff rather than wasting way too much time here... and I have no ulterior pretentious motives

I quite like www.physorg.com since they have everything broken into sections so I can just look at what appeals to me.

And I also have the custom google homepage (igoogle I think it is), and have an RSS feed of /.

 

[Que-Ever]

I generally don't like to associate myself with oxymorons.

 

[Saturos]

metacritic.com http://www.metacritic.com/ It covers all of the major review critics under one site. DVD's, books, games, you name it.

 

[Lucid]

Wikipedia gets a visit whenever something random pops into my head and I'd like to read about it.
Like the invention of Cheerios!

 

[The Monkey]

Wikipedia and YouTube, mostly.

 

[Evo]

rockpapershotgun

Are you talking about reference sites? Who isn't constantly on Wikipedia or Merrian Webster for a quick factoid or definition? Other than that, www.slashdot.org often points me in the direction of fairly interesting articles/websites. I'm a regular on www.slottechforum.com. It's the only online forum I ever see where off-topic banter is extremely rare. I think I saw a thread about WOW once. It's not very exciting unless you're into slot machine repair. I'm also on www.datasheetcatalog.com on a regular basis, but this is also somewhat of a reference site.

Definitely 4chan.

Science: http://www.livescience.com/

I like livescience too. Also http://www.howstuffworks.com/ is pretty cool. Once, I got bored and learned how lock-picking and sewing machines work.

There was also a website with a bunch of videos showing how to do really random things... like fold your clothes fast, or cook certain types of food, or plant seedlings. Can't remember the link though
